This looks good, but it is not clear what the limitations are (says it works with a subset of PHP), how does this compare to say Laravel Livewire?

It's also not clear how it works, the code examples are missing a lot of information.

For example you have Counter.php, and Counter.html, how are they connected? And then you use it as <Counter /> ?

There is a documentation. In particular here https://viewi.net/docs/introduction you can read more about how it works, about the base idea and concept. About the limitations, some of them are described here https://viewi.net/docs/caveats and in general - you can't use functionality and features that are meant for server side only. Viewi is not the same as Livewire, it works differently and it's not tied to a specific framework. Counter php and HTML, the same name and location and you get yourself a component, nothing else is needed, use it as a tag, more here https://viewi.net/docs/components. I appreciate your questions, will work on improvements with the explanation and examples.
